John Adams XYZ Affair

John Adams was born on October 30, 1975, in Braintree Massachusetts on their family farm. He was named after his father who was a deacon of the church. Senior Adams was John’s role model in life. His father died of a flu epidemic in 1761. Susanna Boylston Adams, John Adams mother, comparatively not much was known about her except for her fiery temper. Susanna Adams died in 1797, while John was serving his first year as president. John had two brothers named Peter and Elihu. John’s parents gave him a lot of freedom to do what ever he wished. He wrote in his autobiography that he cared little for school and enjoyed all types of outdoor activities, especially hunting. John’s parents were worried that he was wasting his intellect, so his father asked John what he would like to be when he grew up, John answered a farmer. Senior Adams worked him as hard as any adult trying to teach him a lesson; he asked his son if he was satisfied with being a farmer?...
